Finally had a chance to complete the video. Great car, great story I'm happy for the guy.
The restoration shop played a large roll in the decision for installing the LS engine. Dollars and cents was most likely the main driver. I like the convincing line "the LS will start every time" ..... I never realized Pontiac's have "starting" issues. |

Yeah I get tired of hearing "an LS will start every time". What, the Pontiac 400 in it 45 years ago never started for him each day (in NY no less) - so I guess he never made it to class or work on time.
Please. |

Makes me sick when people leave beautiful cars out to rot and then have the nerve to say “It’s got sentimental value “ really??? Then why didn’t you throw a cover over it??? Brutal

After thinking about it some, I bet more than 50% of my fond memories and auto nostalgia is based on the drivetrain in the different cars I drove. Everything from an original tractor motored FJ45 with a 3 on the tree, to a 1966 GTO with a 428 and a Muncie.
I am OK with an engine swap and the LS makes a lot of sense in some situations. But if that was the car I obsessed over and just had to have back, I would want it to sound and feel like the old car I had and I would have put another 400 in it - not an LS. And yes that car is great looking and I bet it is a blast to drive. |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
